Would this be in poor taste?

[Vibecrewangel]

A friend of mine and I have been tossing around the idea of coauthoring a book on growing up in a broken home with an alcoholic parent. This book would consist mainly of stories from our childhood and adolescent years presented with a sometimes slightly humerous take on the situation. These stories would encompass the good the bad and the ugly of how it was for both of us.
The idea is to show that even though at the time it was a nightmare, that it is those exact situations that helped us to become who we are today. And that no matter how bad it was, we can look back and ocassionaly find humor in how things were.

We've been thinking about this for years, but it seemed somehow wrong to seriously consider it with her alcoholic mother still alive. However, now that both mine and hers have passed away (may they be happier now then they were before) the idea seems somewhat less cruel.

My question to you is....

Would this be in poor taste?
Or would Oprah be praising us for our strength and courage? (God forbid....that woman irks me)
